Spec Putting In New Columns

After several application deadline postponements, our dead-tree friends at the Spec have finally chosen their new set of opinion columnists. Some old Bwog favorites have returned, some fresh faces have been added, and it’s not known who gets the Friday death slots.

Anthony Kelley, CC ’09, who wrote what IvyGate called “The Batshittiest Spectator Column You Will Ever Read.”

I was in the counter-Hunger Strike protest. I am just dismayed that Kulawik tarnished the right. There are far more intelligent right-wing speakers he could have brought to campus than Jim Gilchrist, John Ashcroft, John Bolton & the LionPac guy.

you're a divisive partisan who doesn't actually care about the reputation of the 'right' as opposed to what you think they should represent

regardless of how much i agree with them John Ashcroft was the former Attorney General of the US, John Bolton was the former US ambassador to the UN and Jim Gilchrist was the head of one of the biggest and most prominent citizen watchdog groups in the highly debated area of immigration...'intelligence' is obviously something that only you have access to in your own myopic and ridiculous view of the world--kulawik didn't tarnish (he's a meaningless snot nosed college kid) the reputation of the right except in your demented mind

To clarify: I quit of my own volition - as you can see by who the editor is, Spec Opinion isn't really in the position to kick any of its staff. And yes, I did apply and I am bitter, I am bemused, and I am still right.

Overall great columnists, but why the hell is Anthony Kelley still allowed to write for Spec? Are the editors of the opinion section that brain-dead that they recognize Kelley to be stimulating intellectual discourse?
